Making Sense of Aggression Gordon Neufeld, ph.d.

Attend Both Dr. Neufeld Webinars & Save!

3 Part Series for $619

One of the foremost interpreters of the developmental approach tackles one of the oldest and most perplexing of human problems, exposing its deep developmental roots and revealing why conventional approaches to the problem are so ineffective. There are many indications that this problem is escalating among our children and youth. What tends to grab our attention is the more violating acts of aggression but what is truly alarming is the ground swell of attacking energy within and between our kids that erupts in their interaction, music, language, play, games and fantasies. This attacking energy is also fueling an alarming increase in suicide and suicidal ideation among children. Dr. Neufeld provides a way of understanding that not only explains what is happening around us but also provides insight into the individuals – both children and adults – who present with these problems. His approach is refreshingly sensible, historically accountable, and congruent with today’s science of the brain. His conceptual model has clear implications for practice and treatment and is applicable in any arena: home, school or in treatment.

The key to making sense of aggression is to get past the violating behaviour to the emotional experience of the child and to what is missing in the child’s processing or functioning. The underlying experience is one of frustration, not anger as is commonly supposed. What is missing are vulnerable feelings as well as a consciousness of anything that would counter the impulses to attack. Such children are inclined to attack when up against things they cannot change. Such children are also unable to benefit from traditional means of discipline such as correction, confrontation, consequences and isolation. It is only as the roots of the problem are addressed that aggression can be effectively cured.

Aggression is one of the oldest and most challenging of human problems and indications are, that in children at least, it is on the rise. What tends to grab our attention is the more violating acts of aggression but what is truly alarming is the ground swell of attacking energy within and between our kids that erupts in their interaction, their music, their language, their play, their games and their fantasies. It is the rare parent or teacher that does not encounter aggression in one form or another, be it tantrums, tempers, fits, abrasiveness, abusive language, rude gestures, hostility, racism, taunts, putdowns, bullying, fighting, shaming, belittling, name calling, vicarious enjoyment of violence or the selfattacking forms of self-deprecation, death wishes and self-harm. It is a sobering reality that the kids who fail to grow out of aggression by school age will most likely bring their problem into adulthood, unless the underlying dynamics are addressed.

Bullies: Their Making & Unmaking Gordon Neufeld, ph.d.

Attend Both Dr. Neufeld Webinars & Save!

3 Part Series for $619

Once we understand how bullies are made, our attempts to unmake them can be truly effective and longlasting. Most prevailing approaches to this problem assume that bullying is either learned behaviour or the result of failure to acquire social skills. In contrast, Dr. Neufeld dissects the bully syndrome to reveal its deep instinctive roots in the dynamics of attachment and vulnerability.

Most attempts to change bullies, or even to teach them a lesson, are not only futile but counterproductive.

The reason for this is that most interventions are blind, devoid of an understanding of what makes a bully in the first place. Part of the problem is that the bully is an enigma. There are at least three reasons for this.

First of all, very few bullies would identify themselves as such or confess to the act. Secondly, bullies lack self-reflection and so cannot tell us about themselves. Thirdly, the violating nature of the bully’s behaviour distracts from the salient issues and underlying dynamics. The symptoms are social but the dysfunction is psychological. The arena of violation is in children`s relating to each other but the genesis of the problem is in relationship to adults. The demeanour is one of toughness yet the sensitivity to slight is acute. The behaviour is pushy and demanding yet the personality is highly dependent and immature. Unless we can shed some light into the internal workings of the bully, our interventions will inevitably be off base.

The key to making sense of the bully is not in what the bully does, but rather in what is missing in the bully.

When one gets past the violating behaviour to the underlying functioning, gaping holes become apparent.

Firstly, the bully lacks a sense of responsibility. There are usually two reasons for this deficiency: a) a lack of an underlying sense of agency or b) the child is too defended against vulnerability to feel responsible. Both appear to be true in the bully. To spend effort trying to make the bully accountable does little to change this state of affairs and only convinces the bully that adults are against him or her, which hardens the bully even further. If the bully was capable of feeling responsible, he or she would not be a bully in the first place.

Secondly, the bully lacks adaptive functioning. The bully cannot deal with change and therefore seeks the familiar. The bully does not learn from mistakes, benefit from negative experience, or change as a result of failure. Bullies are neither resourceful nor resilient. Adults who are unaware of this dysfunction will inevitably insist on upping the ante: applying more consequences, teaching a lesson they hope the bully will never forget. If the child was adaptive, he or she would not be a bully in first place. Consequences work wonders for those who can feel the futility of a course of action. On the other hand, consequences only enrage and provoke those who cannot.

Ways To Bolster Resilience Across the Life-Span: From Childhood to Adults Donald Meichenbaum, Ph.D. Anxiety, fear, depression, grief, boredom, frustration, sleep disturbance, increased rates of domestic violence, parenting stress, have been exacerbated by the outbreak of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Recent polls have shown that scripts for anti-anxiety medications have increased by 40%, and prescriptions for anti-depressants and sleep disorder medications have jumped by 19% and 15%, respectively. There is an urgent need to help individuals bolster their resilience in this time of stress, losses and deaths.

This workshop explores the impact of trauma on both neuro-biological and psycho-social processes, and the concurrent benefits of engaging in various resilience- engendering behaviours. He will demonstrate how the CORE tasks of psychotherapy can be applied to the current pandemic situation via telehealth, and other preventative means.

Learning Objectives 1. Discuss what distinguishes the 75% of trauma-exposed individuals who evidence resilience VERSUS the 25% who develop PTSD and various associated disorders.

2. Implement specific, practical ways to bolster resilience that nurture hope and self-efficacy.

3. Treat individuals who are experiencing Prolong and Complicated Grief and Traumatic Bereavement, as in the case of the aftermath of the mass shooting in Nova Scotia.

4. Integrate spirituality and psychotherapy.

5. Spot “HYPE” in the field of psychotherapy Attendees will receive extensive Handouts and a TO DO list that can be applied immediately to their patients and themselves.

Agenda & Key Topics • By way of introduction: 50 years of working with victims of natural disasters and intentional human design: Lessons learned.

• The neuro-biological and psycho-social sequelae of both trauma and resilience-engendering behaviors.

• What are the CORE tasks of psychotherapy? What do “expert” therapists do?

• How to apply these Tools to the current pandemic situation?

Author Roadmap to Resilience

• Specific ways to bolster resilience in six domains (physical, interpersonal, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, spiritual).

• Ways to treat individuals who experience Prolong and Complicated Grief and Traumatic Bereavement.

• How can families and communities bolster resistance?

Smart But Scattered: Strengthening Executive Skills in Children & Adolescents peg dawson, ed.D., ncsp Executive skills are sometimes called “the hidden curriculum.” They are skills such as task initiation, sustained attention, working memory, planning, organization, and goal-directed persistence that are absolutely critical to school success, yet curriculum standards seldom if ever explicitly reference these skills. Neuroscientists now tell us that these skills take a minimum of 25 years to reach full maturation, and the course of that development is influenced by experience and exposure, by modeling, practice, and direct instruction. This workshop will provide participants with a framework for understanding these key skills, how they develop in diverse populations, and how to support executive skills by embedding them into classroom routines and lessons and by tailoring interventions to meet the needs of individual students and classrooms.

Learning Objectives 1. To describe the brain processes involved in executive skill development both in typically developing children and those with executive dysfunction (such as ADHD).

2. To identify how executive skills impact school performance and daily living.

3. “Best practices” in assessing executive skills, including both formal and informal measures.

4. To design interventions for improving executive skills in students, including a. How to make environmental modifications to support weak executive skills. b. How to develop protocols for teaching executive skills by embedding them in daily routines and classroom lessons. c. How to design student-centered interventions targeted to specific problem situations and executive skill challenges.

5. The critical features of a coaching method geared to improving school performance through supporting executive skill development.

25 Proven & Effective Self-Regulation Strategies & Interventions with Children & Adolescents kathy morris, m.eD. Children and adolescents who struggle with self -regulation often look like those who just aren’t paying attention, have difficulty with emotional control, blurting out answers, have difficulty making transitions and/or purposely not controlling themselves. They may be unaware of the connections of their behaviour and the consequences of the behaviour. If you don’t have self-regulation, you may act out, get placed in timeout, sent to the principal’s office, then miss important learning time. A downward spiral occurs as the student gets more upset and continues to act out when given punitive consequences.

Executive functioning changes radically over the first few years, continues to improve quickly throughout adolescent years and, finally, during early adulthood years, the frontal lobes and prefrontal lobes are activated and connected to other regions of the brain. Executive function skills can be trained.

It’s just like going to the gym. The more one practices these strategies for metacognition and selfregulation, the neural connections will be strengthened.

The beginnings of executive function and self-regulation skills appear in the neurotypical brain around 4 years of age. However, what happens when the prefrontal lobe and frontal cortex are compromised due to faulty brain wiring and sensory traffic jams, such as seen in autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit disorders, anxiety disorders, mood disturbances, behaviour disorders, post-traumatic disorders, poverty, attachment disorders?

This two-day seminar will address practical strategies that meet the needs of those children and adolescents who are impacted by these differences in their brain maturation. However, the participant will realize that these strategies apply to ALL students! The purpose is to provide practical tools for those clinicians, educators, therapists or parents who are directly involved in working with children and adolescents. This seminar is designed for those who are “working in the trenches.”

Skills Practice: Practical Interventions with Oppositional, Defiant, & Angry Children, Adolescents & Young Adults in School & Mental Health Settings Jay Berk, Ph.D. Children diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) can present a monumental challenge to therapists, teachers, parents and siblings. ODD and other conduct problems are the single greatest reasons for referrals to outpatient and inpatient mental health settings for children, accounting for at least half of all referrals. Complicating the success of therapeutic interventions is the high rate of comorbidity with anxiety and depressive disorders or ADHD. Current research also correlates a variety of cognitive skill deficits including executive function, emotional regulation, language processing, and social processing. These complicating comorbidities and correlations mean that ODD often requires multidisciplinary assessment and components of mental health care, case management, and educational intervention for students and clients to improve.

This dynamic two day workshop will address a full range of behavioural disturbances, from mild to severe, in order to identify the therapeutic techniques that have proven effective. Participants will review and discuss strategies which can be immediately applied across a variety of settings including home, community, social groups, classrooms, or therapeutic. Participants will examine the intersection of ODD with a variety of issues such as trauma, ADD, learning disabilities, bipolar disorder, and depression and discuss how these affect and alter treatment decisions. Participants will leave this workshop with a much improved diagnostic and treatment approach to ODD and other behavioural disorders.

The Neuropsychology of Learning Disabilities: Developing Evidenced-Based Reading, Writing, & Math Interventions Steven G. Feifer, D.Ed., ABSNP The fundamental aim of this course is to utilize cognitive neuroscience to better understand learning disorders in children. Each lecture has been designed to examine reading, writing, and math disorders from a brain-based educational perspective. The primary learning objectives will be to classify learning disabilities into distinct subtypes based upon neural pathways in the brain. There will be a detailed discussion linking each learning disability subtype with scores of evidenced based interventions. Lastly, the role of diagnostic achievements tests that directly link assessment results with targeted interventions will be introduced with specific case studies included as well.

Reading: The Neuropsychology of Reading lectures will examine reading from a brain-based educational perspective, and classify developmental reading disorders into four distinct subtypes. An initial discussion will examine literacy rates in Canada and the United States, followed by a working definition of dyslexia. Next, there will be a discussion on multiple cognitive constructs involved with reading including phonological processing, working memory, executive functioning, and orthographical processing skills.

A brief review of the Feifer Assessment of Reading (FAR) battery will be shared, as well as other key instruments used to screen and diagnose children with reading disorders and dyslexia.

Writing: The Neuropsychology of Written Language lectures will examine the cognitive underpinnings inherent within the writing process. There will be a discussion on national trends in written language, as well as gender differences in achieving proficient writing skills. In addition, three specific subtypes of writing disorders, with particular emphasis on how “frontal lobe” processes such as working memory and executive functioning impact each subtype, will be discussed as well. Lastly, five essential steps for effective written language instruction will be shared, as well as key assessment tools to evaluate written language disorders. A brief review of the Feifer Assessment of Writing (FAW) battery will be shared, along with targeted case studies.

Mathematics: The Neuropsychology of Mathematics lecture will explore how young children learn and acquire basic mathematical skills from a brain-based educational perspective. Specific pedagogical styles, the role of anxiety, and cultural differences in mathematics will be shared. There will be a discussion on three primary ways in which numbers are formatted in the brain, as well as the central role of language to expand upon conceptually ordered number sets. In addition, the role of working memory, visual-spatial reasoning, and executive functioning will be featured as core cognitive attributes to develop number sense in young children. Lastly, a brief review of the Feifer Assessment of Mathematics (FAM) battery will be discussed as well.

Learning Objectives 1. Differentiate “developmental dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia” from other learning disorders, and discuss how schools can best screen for early learning pitfalls in children.

2. Introduce a brain-based educational model of reading, math, and written language disorders by classifying each disability into basic subtypes, with specific remediation strategies offered for each subtype.

3. Discuss the weaknesses in using an “aptitude-achievement” discrepancy model to identify learning disorders in children. Instead, a processing strengths and weaknesses model examining specific cognitive constructs associated with learning disorders in children will be featured.

4. Introduce a trio of diagnostic achievement tests to demonstrate how specific assessment results can be linked to targeted interventions utilizing specific case studies as well.

Agenda & Key Topics The Neuropsychology of Reading Disorders • Examine literacy rates in Canada and the United States • Defining developmental dyslexia Diagnosing and Remediating Reading Disorders • Review four subtypes of reading interventions • Interventions for dyslexia subtypes The Neuropsychology of Written Language Disorders • Prevalence of written language disabilities • Why do boys struggle more than girls in written language?

30 Proven & Effective Self-Regulation & Executive Function Strategies: For Children with Sensory Disorders, Learning Disabilities, Anxiety & ADHD Lynne Kenney, Psy.D. This 6 hour online course will give you 30 Proven and Effective Self-Regulation and Executive Function Strategies to better understand and intervene with children who have challenges with sensory processing, dysregulation, anxiety and executive function. Dr. Kenney will integrate research from neuroscience, kinesiology, occupational therapy, music and speech/language therapy. We will explore cognitive and movement activities to improve learning and behaviour.

With improvements in research utilizing fMRI to measure brain activation, we are quickly learning that the learning and behaviour management techniques commonly used in the past are not only ineffective but may increase stress which decrease both thinking skills and self-regulation in children and adolescents.

Establishing secure connections with kids, partnering with them in problem solving and using neurobiologically rooted strategies are more effective ways to improve both learning and behaviour.

Importantly, in the past 10 years we have learned that thinking skills in the brain are supported by cognitive-motor movement, rhythm-based learning, music, beat perception and cognitive skills coaching. Where we used to believe that IQ was stable, we now know that students from lowstimulation environments, students with ADHD, learning differences, trauma and concussion may improve their learning skills with coaching, cognitive-exercise and lifestyle improvements.

This workshop will give you 30+ effective cognitive-motor, executive function and self-regulation strategies to better understand and intervene with children who have challenges with executive function, learning, anxiety, sensory processing and dysregulation. Integrating research from neuroscience, kinesiology, occupational therapy, music and speech/language therapy, we will explore cutting edge cognitive-movement activities to improve learning and behaviour.

Teaching students how they think, learn and behave empowers them to play an active role in their own learning. When children with ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, oppositional tendencies and disinterest in school are taught how to be “Cognitive Scientists” coaching their own brains to plan, prioritize, attend and remember, they become more invested in school and motivated to learn.

Taking the mystery out of executive functions by showing students how to learn more efficiently while calming their defensive brains leads to better concentration, improved attention, higher academic achievement and competent social-emotional skills.

Don’t Worry About it: Anxiety in Children and Adolescents in the Home and School Cara Daily, Ph.D. & Meghan Barlow, Ph.D. Anxiety disorders are among the most common conditions diagnosed in children and adolescents and everyone feels anxious from time to time. Despite the prevalence of anxiety disorders, anxiety has been referred to as the “great masquerader” because it can present in surprising ways in the classroom, at home, and in a therapy setting.

This workshop will provide clinicians and educators with an understanding of anxiety as well as with frequently co-occurring conditions including depression, autism, ADHD, and learning disorders. A review of specific types of anxiety disorders and how to distinguish these conditions from “healthy stress” and “anxious moments” will be presented. Participants will learn therapeutic approaches and practical strategies for implementing changes to reduce anxiety within the clinical setting and classroom. Specific manualized treatment programs will be provided and psychopharmacological interventions will be discussed. Additionally, participants will learn tools for teaching coping skills and working with families to determine appropriate and effective school based supports.

Learning Objectives 1. Assess, screen, and diagnose anxiety disorders 3. Create a comprehensive treatment plan that targets symptoms of anxiety based on your client or student 4. Compare and evaluate empirically validated strategies for treating children diagnosed with anxiety 5. Utilize techniques of CBT, self-regulation, mindfulness, CBT, and family therapy to treat anxiety 6. Learn specific manualized treatment programs to reduce anxiety.

Teens, Anxiety & Depression: Active Strategies to Move Teens Forward Lynn Lyons, MSW, RSW Both anxiety and depression are on the rise in teens, and anxiety is currently the top reason why a parent brings a child to a mental health professional. Because an untreated anxiety disorder is one of the top predictors of developing depression as an adolescent or young adult, the need for prevention and more effective treatment of anxiety has become a critical focus of those that work with children and teens in many settings. The most frequent complaint I hear from anxious families about unsuccessful treatment is that no one “told them what to DO.” Or that after a multi-session assessment or months of appointments, they didn’t have a plan or a clear understanding of HOW to respond when anxiety shows up. This workshop will teach attendees HOW to give families immediate and effective tasks that weaken anxiety’s grip, move teens into an active approach to their anxiety and depression, and are likely different than what they have been taught previously. This intensive training will focus on HOW to interrupt anxiety’s cognitive patterns and thus head off depression with simple, process-based strategies that challenge the use of techniques that often inadvertently support the avoidance of anxious and depressive symptoms.

Learning Objectives 1. Develop active assignments for teens and their parents that correct the common cognitive traps that bolster both anxiety and depression.

2. Explain the common cognitive and behavioural overlaps between anxiety and depression.

3. Recognize avoidant and safety behaviors that strengthen anxiety and depression.

When children and teens are in the grips of worry and anxiety, adults often feel stuck as well. Educators, therapists, and parents routinely tell me how overwhelmed they feel by the frequency and intensity of anxiety in the children they care about. And they want to know what to do.

This series will answer the questions I hear most often, including: • How do we get anxious students into school?

• What do we do when an anxious child is falling apart in school?

• What can adults do to both prevent anxiety from becoming so powerful, and help children manage it when it does show up?

• Why are the strategies frequently taught to kids—like breathing, relaxation, and other common CBT techniques—not working?

• How does “frontloading” with anxious kids make interventions more effective?

• How can we get parents, schools, and outside providers to work together more effectively?

• What is the connection between anxiety and depression?

Participants will learn to interrupt the most common anxiety and depression enhancing patterns– including reassurance, accommodation, avoidance, and three cognitive habits—and adopt instead a process-based “umbrella approach” that changes both the child and adults’ engrained patterns of thinking and behaving.

Learning Objectives 1. Create three interventions for anxious children that increase the amount of time spent in the classroom 2. Illustrate the benefits of a process-based intervention versus a content-based intervention

Working with Traumatized Teens: How to Get Unhooked Martha Straus, Ph.D. Traumatized adolescents struggle with self-regulation. They are dysregulated across systems– neurologically, cognitively, physically, emotionally, behaviorally, socially, and spiritually. Anxious and vigilant, and unable to trust themselves or caregivers, they may experience even loving relationships as confusing and frightening. But to learn self-soothing, they must first be able to rely upon others, and discover the joy of co-regulation. They benefit from relationships with adults that provide them with the psychological (and physical) sense of stability and containment they cannot supply themselves. To work effectively with these teens it’s crucial for adults to first foster their own capacity for self-awareness and self-regulation. It’s not easy, especially when our young clients’ extreme reactions—ranging from angry arousal to frozen shutting down—can trigger our own sense of helplessness, failure, dissociation, and rejection. In this webinar, you will hear about Developmental-Relational Therapy (DRT), an attachmentbased model of trauma treatment. You will learn and practice mindful, empathic strategies that help teens feel more secure, connected, present, and regulated.

You’ll discover how to get unhooked from old enactments by exploring: • Specific adolescent attachment styles that interact with or trigger our own • The React, Reflect, and Respond approach to corrective relational experiences • Four M’s—mirroring, mentalizing, mindfulness, and modulation—to increase connection and mood regulation • How to use attunement—including strategies of validation, self-disclosure, and the compassionate sharing of adult feelings and opinions-—to bring traumatized teens back into relationships with themselves and with you

Learning Objectives 1. To explore pathways for healing the effects of attachment trauma 2. To understand the developmental importance of co-regulation across intrapersonal and interpersonal systems 3. To describe adult behaviour that increases calm, intentional, empathic interaction 4. To discuss specific intervention strategies for both highly activated and deactivated dysregulated states.

Autism Spectrum Disorder: Strategies to Help Individuals with ASD Meghan Barlow, Ph.D Much has been researched and written about regarding the importance of early interventions for individuals with ASD. However, with new diagnostic criteria, individuals with high-functioning ASD may not be diagnosed until later in childhood or adolescence. This webinar will help clinicians, educators, and families develop and implement interventions for individuals with ASD throughout their childhood into adulthood. From understanding the differences in individuals with ASD’s brains and how they process information and communicate to exploring creative and practical ways to teach skills, participants who complete the webinar will gain a fresh perspective on working with individuals with ASD. All strategies presented are designed to prepare, protect, and promote independence for individuals with high-functioning ASD. Specific topics will include discussing the diagnosis with the individual and others, interventions to implement in school and at home to address the increasing demands of elementary school, helping individuals with ASD effectively manage their screen time, teaching sex education and self-care, as well reviewing questioning sexuality or gender identity in the ASD population. Obstacles to developing independence (i.e., driving, applying to University, getting a job, moving out) will be reviewed along with the skills to begin teaching to encourage success and independence. We will cover the transition from adolescence into adulthood and how to help young adults find the motivation to accept assistance and support as needed.

Learning Objectives 1. Understand diagnostic criteria for ASD and common misconceptions regarding the diagnosis of ASD. 2. Recognize the services, supports, and interventions needed to help an individual with ASD be successful in school, home, and community now and in the future.

3. Be able to advocate for individuals with ASD in order to help them access appropriate services and supports.

4. Understand common challenges as individuals with ASD move through childhood through adulthood.

5. Be able to develop and implement interventions designed to protect and prepare individuals with ASD as they become independent adults.
